After the RATIFICATION of the Constitution, the theory was that all states would recognize the legal decisions of all other states. So one could cross from Connecticut to Pennsylvania and still have basically the same Rights. However, states did and do have different laws for many things.
As example, a driver license from CA is recognized by GA, but a concealed weapons carry permit from GA is NOT valid in CA.
Non-citizens like slaves, women, and children were equally ignored until they made enough trouble to gain their well-deserved rights!

No -- if you look at the individual state constitutions for the colonies -- there were many different sets of rights.
There was a lot of overlap, however -- and in that overlap, you'll find most of what made it into the Bill of Rights.

no, we were in our infancy back then. each state had their own rules. most white men, the average citizen back then, had rights to land and slaves, and the right to vote. i think each state worried about protecting theirself. except when the british came.

No, we still had slaves and women had limited rights as well.
